MIT professor Daniela Rus explains how AI-powered robots are being trained to safely assist in homes and daily life.

FieldAI builds foundational AI models that help all kinds of robots learn and adapt to new environments using physics.

Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) researchers are building swarms of tiny robots that have a built-in intelligence, allowing them to build structures, vehicles, or even larger versions of… ...

Normally robots are taught how to move across difficult terrain by preprogramming it into their code. This time, though, the scientists at MIT used simulations to teach the Mini Cheetah to run ...

MIT engineers have built a fast, lightweight robotic arm that can play table tennis like a pro. Designed for high-speed accuracy, the robot sits at one end of a ping pong table and uses a standard ...

MIT's Biomimetic Robotics Labratory, which sits across the lawn from the school's iconic main building, created these so-called mini cheetahs, four-legged robots that are powered by 12 motors.

This week, roboticists at MIT have demonstrated a new robot with an extending limb that grows a bit like a plant. The appendage can weave its way through confined spaces before lifting a heavy load.

Robots are great at many things, but working together in an unfamiliar setting isn't one of them – until now, that is. A team of researchers from MIT has developed an algorithm that streamlines ...

Researchers at MIT’s Center for Bits and Atoms (CBA) have created robotic subunits called "voxels" that can self-assemble into a rudimentary robot, and then collect more voxels to assemble ...

As Russ Tedrake flings up the garage door to the dusty MIT lab, light whooshes in, revealing a 360-pound humanoid robot hanging from a rope. The hulky human form sways as the Cambridge breeze ...
